Introduction
Chapter 1
The water sprinkler we had in our backyard was the true meaning of what freedom felt like: soggy and messed up. We were never free in the Moonlight pack, Alpha Raden never allowed us to even move a step from our territory to go shopping so it was always boring here. He was cruel and treated us like slaves more than people. We couldn't even turn rogues because he controlled every aspect of our lives and has a strong bond with other packs like Wildcrest, Silver and Moongold, the most powerful three packs in werewolf history.
I stared in boredom as the little black sprinklers spurted water around our backyard within the glass windows, I felt trapped and I had only my little sister and my mother, we were just another normal family in Moonlight pack. My dad was a former beta but he died during the toughest werewolf vs. Vampires war, he truly died as a warrior when I was only seven years old. Mom was in pain but like the strong woman she was, she looked out for me and my little sister.
"Honey, come and help me." My mom shouted impatiently and I quickly complied with the obedient daughter I was.
She was making our favorite chocolate cupcakes that I and my little sister loved like it was a guilty pleasure for us.
I helped her out in icing the cupcakes and cutting vegetables for dinner. It was a very dark evening since winter was coming and the days were faster.
"Mom, I'm so bored," I whined, I never went out of the tiny house we had, I begged to be released. Her warm brown eyes gazed at me with understanding, she was bored too but there was nothing to do about it.
We only had the close by school and we were restricted from hanging outside of the building unless it was an important pack arrival where teenagers stared in adoration at the murderers like they were superstars. I had a strong opinion on other werewolf packs and I was the daring one out of all the scared pack members here. We never even had universities because Alpha Raden thought that we didn't need to be further educated.
"Darling, tomorrow is your birthday, that's something to be excited about, it's your first shift." She gushed with watery eyes and I hugged her; I never felt excited because I was scared of the first shift, many of my schoolmates told me that their bones break painfully and their hands twist to form the claws. It was so scary to me.
I was happy about one thing; I got to celebrate it with my family. It was one blessing and I hoped to not find my mate in the early shift.
My little sister, Evanna, giggled at us hugging with her cute grey eyes and tooth gap, she was only eight years old, she wore the usual yellow dress that she adored. I was once like her until I grew up seeing wars and darkness. I hoped that never happens to my sister.
I carried her as she squealed and twirled with her in my arms, our eyes cheerful with happiness until it was too soon to tell.
I could feel the start of something bad happening. My eyes turned to the glass window and Evanna hid behind me when I let her down as mom stared at the same vision. It was silent when it began.
The rancid smell of smoke started to get into our house and the blaze of fire slowly cracked our glass doors. Mom stayed beside me, trying to mind-link our Alpha for help because we couldn't escape through the doors for there was a circular firestorm around the house. I could see it from all the double doors on each side of our house. A part of me was grateful that all of our doors were transparent so we could quickly scan the severity of the impact.
Who would do that to us? we were a peaceful family, we didn't have enemies.
The fire was everywhere, terrorist werewolves came inside and killed my mother by three werwolves that ripped her body apart when I tried to drag them from behind but to no avail, I clutched my sister hard to save her, I couldn't turn into a wolf to fight them so they harshly bit my hand and their plan succeeded in getting my sister, the blood that left my terrified sister's arm drifted off to her wrist like rivers.
I tried holding her again but the wolves took satisfaction in watching my sister die slowly when they held me with their claws.
My little sister died as her eyes changed from scared to lifeless. I shouted in pain at the loss of my sister when they let me go, I charged towards the wolves but they pushed me off again with their head making me dizzy.
They didn't kill me as the burning fire increased more and they ran away. I screamed as the eyes took in the malicious orange flames and black smoke, I sat down, wanting to burn with my family too. I wanted to be with them up joined by dad. I smiled and let the flames near me to touch me.
But someone had to save me, Alpha Raden, he came inside and lifted me when I fought with him to stay here, he didn't reply to my wish and rescued me when I didn't want to be rescued.
"Why?" I shouted at him and his blue eyes were confused at the first thing I said, any chances of a thank you flew out the window.
Alpha Raden was a powerful Alpha but he was too much of a strict father to everyone. He has muscles for life and a tall height that towered over me. He has a stubble and pointy nose, he was twenty-six years old and no mate yet.
"You can't die, you have to shift tomorrow." He growled and I smacked his chest only to be bitten on my wrist by him challenging me to disobey.
"Stand down." I laid my head down submissively with tears gushing down my eyes.
Alpha took me into a new apartment inside his mansion until he knew what he wants to do with me tomorrow but I didn't care. I was grieving and I wanted to take my life to join them because I have no reason to live anymore.
"Alpha will visit tomorrow, so be on your best behaviour." He commanded and I nodded, afraid to speak.
"What's his name?" I asked I might know him.
"Just Alpha with no name." I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, never heard of an Alpha who didn't tell his name to any of his pack.
He stormed out as I cried my heart out at my little sister's giggles in my ear and my mother's smile when she baked with me. I would find who did this and kill it. Whoever it was, I was more than determined to find out, they needed to die a vicious death.
I burst more tears remembering just how mother wanted to see her daughter shift, she didn't have her wish but I knew that she was watching it from up the heavens. I tied my blonde wavy hair and wiped my red greyish eyes. I was going to avenge them, one way or another.
I was still curious as to who is Alpha unknown. Maybe he could help me with my revenge.

The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run.

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."

The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
